AN Ashton-on-Mersey priest is being investigated by police for child sex offences less than two months after being appointed.
The Reverend Iain Mossley, 40, who is married with three children, has been suspended by Chester Diocese.
He gave his first sermon at the Parish Church of St Martin on January 20 and was formally the priest at the Parish of St James, Leyland, where he stayed for more than four years.
Members of the congregations at St Martin’s, on Church Lane, were told of Mr Mossley’s suspension during Sunday service on March 10.
